RPC Node Interface - thomas-z8/chia-blockchain GitHub Wiki

Full node has an HTTP JSON-RPC api to access information and control the full node:

Some examples:

# Get blockchain state
curl -X POST http://localhost:8555/get_blockchain_state

# Get block header by header hash
curl -d '{"header_hash":"4ba1f698836798bda170364d3b3e8bb9fe1134eb1af8260ab1319d3ede52555e"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8555/get_header

# Get all unspent coins by puzzle hash
curl -X POST --data '{"puzzle_hash":"0xa4259182b4d8e0af21331fc5be2681f953400b6726fa4095e3b91ae8f005a836"}'   http://localhost:8555/get_unspent_coins

The endpoints currently supported in Node:

/get_blockchain_state
/get_block
/get_header_by_height
/get_header
/get_unfinished_block_headers
/get_connections
/open_connection
/close_connection
/stop_node
/get_unspent_coins
/get_heaviest_block_seen

Documentation is limited but one can get a sense for parameters and actions from the Node RPC server source.

chia show implements most of the RPC functionality on the command line.
